Can Botox/fillers correct facial asymmetry from TMJD? (Photos)
Glorious5018Mar 21, 2020
Or should cosmetic treatments be avoided until bite is corrected fully? I am 22 and developed TMJD on my right side in late 2018. Jaw is deviated left, but the left masseter muscle also feels quite hypertrophied. Pain resolved after impacted wisdom teeth extraction, facial exercises and stopping Invisalign, but I am concerned about lingering asymmetry. My main question before scheduling a cosmetics consultation is whether or not these are "safe" treatments when the joints are still technically "deranged". My TMJ specialist could not provide a clear answer.
